酒

Old inns were the place with 酒, so the name stuck around the alcohol. The meaning drifted, and modern speakers never hear 'wine shop' inside 酒店. It's the same dead metaphor as 火车, which has no fire in it. In Beijing, 饭店 usually means a restaurant where you eat. In the south and Taiwan, 饭店 means the hotel you sleep in. Context and city decide, not the characters. “书店有好书， 饭店吃和住， 酒店没有酒。” (A bookstore has good books; a restaurant offers food and lodging; a hotel doesn't have wine.) ── [《三星在哪里？》](/read/where-is-samsung#s5)

Alone, 酒 means liquor, and in China that usually means 白酒. One glass of 白酒 runs 40 to 60 percent alcohol and hits like a truck. Wine is 红酒 or the full 葡萄酒, and beer is 啤酒. English splits 'wine' and 'liquor' into two words, but 酒 covers the whole shelf. So 一杯酒 sounds like a shot of the strong stuff, not a glass of pinot.

不喝酒 states a standing fact about you: you don't drink, ever. 不会喝酒 means you can't hold it, and it's the standard face-saving dodge at a Chinese dinner. 没喝酒 only covers tonight, and it implies you normally do drink. Pick the wrong one and you either sound like a rulebook or invite another round.
